About eSIM technology
eSIM allows you to refuse to use a physical SIM card and replace it with a virtual one. To do this, manufacturers install a microchip in modern gadgets that allows users to load a digital SIM card by scanning a QR code. Thus, users get the opportunity to buy or change a SIM card remotely without wasting time on a trip to the store to get a physical card.
The virtual SIM card has a number of other advantages:
- It allows owners of mono-SIM devices to significantly expand the capabilities of their gadgets and use several profiles in one smartphone – up to 10 numbers (depending on the manufacturer’s settings).
- Can be used in devices without SIM card slots, such as tablets.
- Provides an additional level of security. It cannot be damaged, lost, or removed from a smartphone, which is another barrier for fraudsters and an opportunity to find a missing smartphone or tablet.
